Cat owners often witness a strange and adorable behaviour: being followed everywhere by their feline companion. Whether you’re heading to the kitchen, bathroom or another room, your cat always seems to be by your side. Once you have excluded medical reasons, and made sure that your cat has food, fresh water, a clean litter box… You are entitled to ask yourself: what are the reasons for this curious behaviour?
The cat is known for its curious nature and needs mental stimulation to be happy and fulfilled. By following you, it is simply looking to entertain itself by observing you. In addition, your cat appreciates the routine and may instinctively accompany you and participate in these familiar moments. Your presence is an integral part of its secure environment. Indeed, if your cat follows you everywhere, it can be a sign that it feels safe by your side. Cats are animals capable of developing a deep bond of attachment to their human. When they feel secure and confident, they naturally seek closeness and affection from those around them.
In summary, if you notice any changes in your cat’s behaviour or if it shows signs of separation anxiety, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian for more information.
If your feline companion seems healthy and happy, chances are this behaviour shows how attached, curious, and trusting it is towards you. Enjoy these moments of complicity and cherish the special bond that unites you.
